Aflex PTFE flexible hoses for industrial sector

What makes Aflex PTFE technology superior

Lined with polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE), Aflex hoses offer excellent chemical resistance and durability. Their highly flexible, kink‑resistant structure includes a smooth bore that ensures fast, clean flow even at high pressures and temperatures up to 260°C.

Precision-engineered to avoid costly and dangerous critical failure, our robust hoses are rigorously tested to the highest international safety and quality standards.

Case study: How can Aflex hoses improve mining reliability?

After experiencing blockages caused by rigid pipework with 90-degree bends, Cornish Lithium switched to flexible Corroline+ hoses. Used for transferring a mica slurry treated with sulphuric acid at its hard-rock lithium mining demonstration plant - the switch reduced downtime prevented hazardous risks.

“It’s hot, acidic and abrasive so the conditions couldn’t be harsher for the hoses but we haven’t had an Aflex hose fail on us. They are the worst conditions in the plant, but the hoses handle it.”

Dai Moseley, senior process manager for hard rock minerals at Cornish Lithium
